The developer was asked by EA to stop updating it when they started work on BF2, can’t remember how it all wrapped up but I think he got a job at EA and a bag of cash out of it. It was a massive threat to BF2, which ended up a poor facsimile anyway.
Was just talking to my son-in-law about this mod and how a small group of friends played this at night all week and all day and night on weekends. Loved this so much, thanks.
I remember playing the mod for the first time and jumping in the heli and instantly crashing. I knew from that moment that I had to master it and I did over the years playing. I feared no jet, and would take them out by performing a barrel roll while launching rockets. Then when Trauma studios got bought out, and they made BF1 and completely nerfed the helis to the point that they floated. Man I was disappointed, as we were all so looking forward to it. The helis need to have that steep learning curve to make them exceptionally maneuverable. They nerfed them to make it so people could just jump in and play and that sucked bigtime. No other game has matched the mechanics of the DC heli and it shall go down in history as the best. I haven't watched this vid yet but if they fcked with the DC heli mechanics thinking they can improve it, its a fail. The game could use a shit load of upgrades as gaming has evolved so much, but don't fuck with the heli mechanics, plus also allow 'no hud'. Remember we are looking into a 2D screen, cannot make it a sim. Edit: watching now and he's just playing the old mod. Needs to be modernized and brought back to life with latest graphics etc.
@@d1o2n4 I completely agree about the way they ruined the helos in BF2. Did you ever play on that helo practice map? The one with all the helos on both sides and lots of targets and interesting terrain. Excellent fun and a great way to hone your skills.
Thank you so much for this! I "crafted" this map back in the day, Twin Rivers! I also put together Al Nas. As you can imagine I was more than happy to include them in "DC_Final"
I cant find one video displaying the Scud sighting system where a teammate with binoculars could ping a location adn the scud operator would then get a view from the scouts position and get to watch where his shots land and adjust aim. It was the best artillery sighting system in any game.
Bro this brings back so many good memories. My Crew / Clan was -=BIB=- Best international Brotherhood. We loved this game. All the maps were so damn fun. Might have to reinstall and start playing again. Remember the Wake Island demo that came on a disk for BF1942 then the world was introduced to the Best mod ever "Desert Combat".
I used to play this with the 21CW tournament back in the day. 12 hour battles every week, round after round after round. Properly organised and everyone worked as a team. It was awesome. I miss those days.
oh wow, I used to work for Frank DeLise (exec at nvidia last I saw him) he's the one that came up with the mod. I was hired as the beta testing coordinator. I had about 100 play testers and we banged on the mod nightly to crush bugs and more importantly have a blast doing it
We run a DC server, we get players daily, and during events 20-30 people! Would you be interested in that? I can help you get back in the game free! We have all files, all we ask is that you join and spread the word!!

Was big into this back in the day. Played with {QC1} Berlin infantry clan and the (ABR) clan. Did a bunch of friendly matches on there too. Was some of the best gaming ever.
WOW the memories! This game was the best when i was 13-14 years old. I was pretty involved in a clan called =CBDC= . The members where some of the best people i have ever associated with and i wish i would have realized that at the time! CBDC continued into further generations of Battlefield and became CBBF. I remember one of our admins, Five0, tricked me by telling me they where starting a newsletter ( which i think they really did after words ) and ended up sending me a copy of Battlefield 1 when it came out. I miss those days, amazing people. Five0, SlowMotion, StarBoy, HydroponicGuy, and MANY others, you guys created the early years of my BattleField life! Would be incredible to find a way to reconnect. Ediit : WOW! So after i wrote this comment, i continued watching your video and actually saw =CBBF= SlowMotion! My jaw is on the floor!
At one point in development, you could place sand bag walls instantly. It was ahead of fortnite! recall them removing it or making it slower or something, can't remember. Game basically set the standard for helicopter controls.

DICE is just an acronym of Digital Illusions CE. To be precise, they became DICE- New York branch. And they declined to relocate to sweden, after DICE shut down the New York branch - 2 days after BF2 release. So they got fired.
Im trying to get this to work on my Windows 10. I have an ISO image of 'BF 1942 Complete' installed and working, but it doesn't recognize the DC mod. Is there anybody who has succeeded this way or know how to?

I miss this game. Loved it so much. There is nothing like it today.
exactly
there was nothing similar back then either...
This mod literally exists and is still playable today

broooo I JUST looked up this mod because I was thinking about the helicopters. I was like a fish in water with the helis. Such good memories!
Loved this game. Never played any other Battlefield after.

Wtf? You made Nas? Thank you, you are a god. 20-40 of us still playing it nightly and I’m the renowned Nas junky. My brain is 40% Nas…
@@marcusgardner7640you can still play?!
Thank you bro, it means a lot to me for my childhood
I was the texture artist for this, good times
Nice! 20-40 of us still play nightly and twin riv is the 2nd fav map to Al Nas

The artillery system from 1942. Nobody ever used it which was a shame as it was an excellent game mechanic

What's the name of your server... considering to join for some sukhoi action 😂
Never played that, but would like to try it

So many hours playing this. Battlefield Vietnam was a favorite too.

From what I've heard, the guys who made this mod are the reason why Battlefield 3 and 4 were so good. And why the franchise got so much love.
yea they got hired as DICE. to work and create BF2
Trauma studios. And they were fired 2 days after BF2 release.
best ever mod

Excellent AN you almost to 10k bro

There was an art to flying the helicopters you had to tap W.
I would give anything for there to be at least 32 players most of the time and rarely for there to be 64 players... (not that rare)
